A friend of mine is a writer. She did not start out that way. I first heard about her in Barrow. She was the optometrist's main squeeze. Everyone knew Grant was dating a beautiful blond bombshell.
When next we actually met was a decade or so later in Dillingham. She was a stay at home mom with two gorgeous girls. The husband was located at the hospital there while I was working in the medical record department.
Over the course of a year and multiple yard sales, Boone shared that she was trying her hand ar writing. I read a rough draft of one of her stories. It had a nifty twist where the bad guy was struck a lightning bolt that hit a church steeple.
It was not too long after I returned to Coquille that she began successfully writing as Boone Brux. She wrote about a soccer mom reaper. Which if you think about it is quite a combination.
So when I had a very short dream, I thought of Boone and how this topic would be a writing challenge amongst herself and her favorite lady authors.
Here is my little snippet of a dream.
I saw a girl with her back turned to me. She was wearing raggedy cut off jeans, a shirt tied above her waist. She wore a belt made of dollar sized gold coins. That is the sum total of my snippet of dream.
Here is the challenge. I want a story from you and your cohorts consisting of 85 to 90 pages. Tell me the story about the Girl Wearing A Gold Belt. Any genre, any time, place or universe.
How did she get there? Are there aliens, dinosaurs, cowboys or rocket ships involved ? Has she figured out the meaning of life?
I do wish I were an editor for a posh magazine. I would give this writing project to a favorite group of writers to go into an anthology. Okay, ladies go have a cuppa and hit the keyboard. Can't wait to read this!
